如何預(yù)測英語六級聽力長對話的方法
四六級聽力在很大程度上決定著四六級考試成績的高低。四六級聽力是最容易得分又最容易失分的一個題型,好多學(xué)生雖然英語基礎(chǔ)不好,但聽力過硬,在考試中就成功地扭轉(zhuǎn)了乾坤,不僅順利通過了考試,甚至還取得了高分,而英語聽力不太好的學(xué)生,雖然在其他題型方面有扎實(shí)的基礎(chǔ),感覺做題得心應(yīng)手,但往往無法取得理想的考試成績。鑒于此,同學(xué)們一定要從一開始就注意聽力的練習(xí)。下面,就聽力如何練習(xí)給大家提出一些指導(dǎo),希望對同學(xué)們的聽力練習(xí)有所幫助。
如何預(yù)測英語六級聽力長對話的方法
一、各題主題揭示對話主題
將各題所考查的主題內(nèi)容結(jié)合在一起,往往可得出整篇對話的主題。如果某一題目是考查對話主題,其中的一個選項(xiàng)明顯能夠概括其他各題選項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容,那么該選項(xiàng)很可能為答案。
【例1】(710分樣卷Conversation One)
【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】
19. [A]To interview a few job applicants.
[B]To fill a vacancy in the company.
[C] To advertise for a junior sales manager.
[D] To apply for a job in a major newspaper.
20. [A]A hard working ambitious young man.
[B]A young man good at managing his time.
[C]A college graduate with practical working experience.
[D]A young man with his own idea of what is important.
21. [A]Not clearly specified.
[B]Not likely to be met.
[C]Reasonable enough.
[D]Apparently sexist.
【聽前預(yù)測】
預(yù)覽三道題各選項(xiàng),由19題中的interview, applicants, vacancy, advertise for a manager, apply for a job等詞語可以推測對話與刊登招聘廣告或應(yīng)聘工作有關(guān)。而20題中hardworking, ambitious, good at managing his time, with practical working experience, with his own idea等詞語則表明對話中還涉及到對所招聘人員的要求。
二、選項(xiàng)均以動詞的某種形式開頭
含有這類選項(xiàng)的問題為考查“行為活動”類型。根據(jù)動詞的不同形式,問題考查的重點(diǎn)也可能不同。
選項(xiàng)均以動詞原形開頭,問題大多是關(guān)于建議某人做某事,有時也表示為了而某種目的而要做某事。
選項(xiàng)均為動名詞,問題大多是關(guān)于正在進(jìn)行的動作或者計(jì)劃打算。
選項(xiàng)為不定式,問題很可能是關(guān)于做某事的目的,或是計(jì)劃、承諾或要求做某事。
【例2】(新06-12- -20)
【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】
[A] File a lawsuit against the man.
[B] Ask the man for compensation.
[C] Have the man’s apple tree cut down.
[D] Throw garbage into the man’s yard.
【聽前預(yù)測】
選項(xiàng)均為動詞原形,故本題應(yīng)該是考查某人的行為活動。四個選項(xiàng)均是針對男士的行為,故本題很可能是關(guān)于某人與男士發(fā)生爭吵或沖突時所采取的應(yīng)對措施。
【聽音驗(yàn)證】
…
W: Get the branches off my property or I’ll have to sue you.
M: Yeah? For what?! You’re taking those law classes too seriously! I’ve gotta go, I have to pick up my son.
…
21. What did the woman threaten to do?
【例3】(710分樣卷-19)
【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】
[A]To interview a few job applicants.
[B]To fill a vacancy in the company.
[C] To advertise for a junior sales manager.
[D] To apply for a job in a major newspaper.
【聽前預(yù)測】
選項(xiàng)均為不定式短語,故本題應(yīng)該是考查某人將要采取的行動。[ A ]、[ C ]是關(guān)于招聘工作(interview, advertise),[ B ]、[ D]則是關(guān)于申請工作(fill, apply for),故聽音時應(yīng)留意該行為是關(guān)于招聘還是應(yīng)聘。
【聽音驗(yàn)證】
M: Morning, Brenda.
W: Good morning, Mr. Browning.
M: Er, did you, did you put that ad in yesterday?
W: Yes, yesterday afternoon.
M: The ad for a junior sales manager, I mean.
…
19. What did Mr. Browning ask Brenda to do?
三、選項(xiàng)中含有表示意愿或建議的詞
如果選項(xiàng)中含有should, had better, would like等一類的詞語,問題很可能是考查“觀點(diǎn)或建議”。
【例4】(新06-12-25)
【預(yù)覽選項(xiàng)】
[A] Accurate communication is of utmost importance.
[B] Pilots should be able to speak several foreign languages.
[C] Air controllers should keep a close watch on the weather.
[D] Cooperation between pilots and air controllers is essential.
【聽前預(yù)測】
由選項(xiàng)中的should可推知,本題應(yīng)該是考查某人的觀點(diǎn)或建議。選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容表明問題應(yīng)該與確保安全飛行的因素有關(guān)。
【聽音驗(yàn)證】
